| Unit | Unit Title and Description | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 720 | Principles of Professional Consulting Professional consulting provides clients with objective, independent expertise, advice and guidance. It can act as a facilitator for individual and organisational success. To succeed in the role, professional consultants must be knowledgeable, creative, agile and resilient. They must be proactive and able to adapt their practice to respond to client requirements in the contemporary workplace. | 100 |
| 721 | Leadership in Professional Consulting Professional consulting requires a multi-dimensional approach to leadership. Within the role, consultants need to be adept, confident and have credibility. Scenarios for consulting will typically be complex and involve building relationships with other senior leaders. Consultants may lead internal and/or external teams and work at board level. Consultants must not only have a macro view of an organisation’s strategic context, they must also understand the impact of digital, technological and geo-political change. | 90 |
| 722 | Practice of Professional Consulting Professional consulting can be transformational, shaping the way organisations think and operate. Consultants may assist clients to develop strategic objectives, consider new market opportunities, explore innovative ways of working and build organisational and staff capability. For professional consultants to deliver effective client-centric consulting they must have an in-depth understanding of consulting practice. | 100 |
| 723 | Leading Innovation and Change through Professional Consulting The ability to drive innovation and change is an essential skill for a professional consultant. Innovation defined simply as ‘doing something new or different’, is a powerful catalyst for change. It can revolutionise an organisation’s operational activities, create dynamic new opportunities, and contribute to the achievement of strategic goals. Change occurs in many forms and professional consultants must be able to lead changes, which may be radical, incremental or evolutionary. | 90 |
| 724 | Personal and Professional Development for Professional Consultants In a globalised, high-tech, fast paced and unpredictable world, professional consultants must prioritise personal and professional development. This will enable them to keep pace with developments in strategic and operational practice and equip them to respond effectively to organisational and societal change. | 70 |
| 725 | Professional Consulting Expertise Effective consulting has the power to drive organisational success. However, to respond creatively to client requirements, consultants must have an in-depth knowledge of the industry, sector or specialist area they consult in. | 70 |
| 726 | Delivering Client Requirements through Professional Consulting Delivering consulting, which has a tangible, positive impact on the client, requires a plethora of knowledge and skills. Consultants must be great communicators, agile, creative, able to problem-solve and develop solutions. They must be able to respond to client need and build relationships which are trusted and sustainable. | 100 |

Overall a good experience. It was a self study / distance learning engagement so there is a lot of onus on you as the student to self-motivate. As and when I did need guidance, Crescente were on hand to provide assistance and ensure I was heading in the right direction.

Excellent support and really challenged my views, allowing me to grow through learning. Good marking turnaround time and very easy access to talk with John for reassurance and support.
